Speaker 4: early on. I think I need to at the very

11
00:00:34,573 --> 00:00:36,133

Speaker 2: Yeah.

18
00:00:47,613 --> 00:00:49,893
Speaker 4: Well, well we're talking about some other little babies this morning.

19
00:00:49,893 --> 00:00:52,253
Speaker 4: Some native bees that you've been noticing around your nick

20
00:00:52,293 --> 00:00:52,933
Speaker 4: of the woods.

21
00:00:53,453 --> 00:00:53,653
Speaker 1: Yeah.

22
00:00:53,693 --> 00:00:55,693
Speaker 3: I've been looking for native bees here in the halls

23
00:00:55,733 --> 00:00:58,293
Speaker 3: will Quarry. But that's not I found a few. That's

24
00:00:58,333 --> 00:01:00,853
Speaker 3: not the point. But I must tell you that there

25
00:01:00,893 --> 00:01:03,053
Speaker 3: was something else that I did to find there, and

26
00:01:03,093 --> 00:01:07,653
Speaker 3: they were significantly little, conically shaped hole right with the

27
00:01:07,733 --> 00:01:10,733
Speaker 3: diameter of about thirty millimeters or something like that, situated

28
00:01:10,773 --> 00:01:13,813
Speaker 3: in dry bits of soil. And I looked at it

29
00:01:13,853 --> 00:01:15,613
Speaker 3: and I thought, I've seen that. Boy, I know what

30
00:01:15,653 --> 00:01:18,453
Speaker 3: this is. And the so started looking it up, and

31
00:01:18,493 --> 00:01:21,933
Speaker 3: there we are. I remember what it is. They are

32
00:01:21,973 --> 00:01:22,733
Speaker 3: what they call.

33
00:01:22,773 --> 00:01:25,893
Speaker 2: Ant lions and lions.

34
00:01:26,613 --> 00:01:29,053
Speaker 3: Yeah, ant lines. Isn't it a lovely name? Ant lines.

35
00:01:29,093 --> 00:01:31,573
Speaker 2: It's just like an ant like and then a lion

36
00:01:31,733 --> 00:01:32,733
Speaker 2: like the king of the jungle.

37
00:01:33,333 --> 00:01:36,333
Speaker 3: That's right. Wow, So these are these are actually neuroptera

38
00:01:36,493 --> 00:01:39,453
Speaker 3: or if you like, you know, neuropteran group of insects

39
00:01:40,493 --> 00:01:43,653
Speaker 3: that basically have their young in pits that they make

40
00:01:43,693 --> 00:01:47,653
Speaker 3: their own pits, which are quite steep and deep, and

41
00:01:48,053 --> 00:01:51,133
Speaker 3: in the bottom in the base of the particular pit

42
00:01:51,693 --> 00:01:55,173
Speaker 3: lives the baby off that particular end lion and it

43
00:01:55,253 --> 00:02:00,853
Speaker 3: sits there basically doing nothing until an ant or something

44
00:02:00,853 --> 00:02:05,733
Speaker 3: else walks nearby or slips into the pit which is

45
00:02:05,773 --> 00:02:09,893
Speaker 3: a trap. And then and then what happens is amazing.

46
00:02:10,293 --> 00:02:13,613
Speaker 3: The moment the end lying feels the sand coming down

47
00:02:13,653 --> 00:02:17,613
Speaker 3: in the pit, it starts throwing sand back up at

48
00:02:17,613 --> 00:02:20,853
Speaker 3: this stupid end that fell into its pit as if

49
00:02:20,853 --> 00:02:23,733
Speaker 3: it tries to escape, and so it throws sends up

50
00:02:24,093 --> 00:02:27,573
Speaker 3: by making these ant lions. It's sort to make those

51
00:02:27,613 --> 00:02:31,213
Speaker 3: ants lose their balance and they fall down and it's

52
00:02:31,213 --> 00:02:31,933
Speaker 3: becoming prey.

53
00:02:32,333 --> 00:02:35,613
Speaker 2: Wow. So basically, the ant falls in a hole, it

54
00:02:35,613 --> 00:02:38,093
Speaker 2: tries to climb out, and this thing just throws dirt

55
00:02:38,133 --> 00:02:41,133
Speaker 2: at it so that the keeps falling down.

56
00:02:40,613 --> 00:02:45,773
Speaker 3: It's an amazing It is the wonderful and most wonderfulst way.

57
00:02:45,893 --> 00:02:48,373
Speaker 2: Well yeah, yeah, no it's not.

58
00:02:48,573 --> 00:02:50,933
Speaker 3: But there's other things they eat so well, they eat caterpillars,

59
00:02:50,933 --> 00:02:53,893
Speaker 3: they eat as little beetles and so on. But that's amazing.

60
00:02:54,093 --> 00:02:57,613
Speaker 3: Now I put a photo on the website and you

61
00:02:57,613 --> 00:02:59,853
Speaker 3: can see what that end lying baby looks like with

62
00:03:00,133 --> 00:03:05,413
Speaker 3: two enormous jaws with serrations. And boy they are quick,

63
00:03:05,533 --> 00:03:07,173
Speaker 3: these guys fabulous.

64
00:03:07,253 --> 00:03:08,573
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, So.

65
00:03:08,573 --> 00:03:11,013
Speaker 3: They do this during the day, but mostly at night.

66
00:03:11,133 --> 00:03:13,493
Speaker 3: But during the day is what I do, because if

67
00:03:13,533 --> 00:03:15,773
Speaker 3: I find a little hole like that, I throw little

68
00:03:15,773 --> 00:03:18,653
Speaker 3: bits of scand down into the bottom of the end

69
00:03:18,693 --> 00:03:21,493
Speaker 3: line's trap, and the end line comes out, looks at me,

70
00:03:21,573 --> 00:03:24,773
Speaker 3: it starts throwing sand at me. And I thought, it's

71
00:03:24,853 --> 00:03:26,733
Speaker 3: just a nice thing you can do with your new

72
00:03:26,813 --> 00:03:27,853
Speaker 3: child all day.

73
00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:31,733

00:03:35,933 --> 00:03:37,573

77
00:03:37,613 --> 00:03:39,213
Speaker 2: ever heard of an end line until today.

78
00:03:40,293 --> 00:03:42,933
Speaker 3: No, but I think it's so wonderful for that creature,

79
00:03:42,933 --> 00:03:47,373
Speaker 3: because it's a clever little bum that actually throws sins. Yeah,

80
00:03:47,613 --> 00:03:48,453
Speaker 3: it's prey.

81
00:03:48,493 --> 00:03:49,013
